Naked Associations is a publication that explores the loose associationsthat exist in my life and in reality itself, which string together various experiences and ultimately make up who I am. It is comprised of two matching booksthat explore the two types of people I feel exist within myself, an Aspiring Optimistand a Recovering Pessimist. Both books share the same themes but explore them in different perspectives; one being hopeful and reflecting positively (Aspiring Optimist) the other being bitter and reflecting with hate (Recovering Pessimist). The Physicality of the book, the use of transparent paper and the binding represents the natureof the book, which is reflexive and reflective on the honest ‘naked’ truths brought forward by its creator.
